The Civic Type R gets software based traction control using the ABS wheel speed sensors. It works the same as our Traction Control, except that there is no wiring involved and it is free. https://www.hondata.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=22119&p=101791#p101791



Why use this over the factory VSA? The difference between Hondata software traction control and factory VSA is that the factory VSA reduces power by the so called 'slow torque' method. This means that it will close the throttle plate and with turbo vehicles, reduce boost. The 'slow torque' method is slow to both reduce power and bring back in power once the wheel slip is reduced. Hondata software traction control reduces power to the 'fast torque' method, which is basically retarding the ignition timing to reduce power. The advantage of this method is that the power reduction is instant and also the power and be bought back in instantly. The disadvantage of fast torque reduction is that at high power reduction levels the engine will misfire, which causes no damage but will make the exhaust pop, which is unacceptable for OEM applications. Also the Hondata software traction is under your control whereas the factory VSA is fixed in parameters and operation.

Do I need to switch off the factory VSA? No.

Will it work in wet and dry conditions? Yes.

Will this be available for other 10th gens? Yes.

Can it be disabled? Via the software and uploading or switch on cruise control main.

How do I get this version? Download from our website under software or from within the FlashProManager ''check for updates'. You need 3.2.7 or later.

Could this timing reduction be used to create an option to have the exhaust pop between shifts, like the "Race" mode on the new Veloster N? I'm assuming that this technique is what Hyundai used to achieve that effect.

So I have a catless downpipe and aftermarket front pipe but stock exhaust. Will this still be safe to use on my stock exhaust?
